Historical Context & Theme

The 1/35 Tiger II “300” s.Pz.Abt.503 Hauptmann – Walter Scherf by Dynamo Models pays tribute to one of the most iconic tank commanders of World War II. Hauptmann Walter Scherf, commander of the formidable Tiger II “300” of schwere Panzer-Abteilung 503, symbolizes the elite German armored units that fought on both Eastern and Western Fronts in 1944–45. This figure captures him during operations in France or Hungary, embodying the composure and professionalism of an experienced officer commanding one of the most powerful tanks of the war.

This release aims not only to reproduce military realism but also to capture the personality behind the uniform—an officer assessing the battlefield, communicating with his crew, and embodying the presence of command in the midst of war.

Figure Details & Realism

Expertly sculpted in 1/35 scale, this high-detail resin figure presents Hauptmann Scherf in a calm yet alert stance, dressed in an accurate Waffen-SS Panzer uniform with a field cap or officer’s peaked cap (depending on chosen head option). Fine details such as uniform folds, insignia placement, binoculars, and personal sidearm are sharply defined for painting precision.

The facial sculpt captures character and determination, making it suitable for both historical representation and narrative-driven dioramas. Each fold of fabric, medal, and accessory reflects careful research and craftsmanship, ensuring authenticity for advanced modelers.

Diorama & Display Use

Perfect for inclusion in Tiger II “300” dioramas, this figure can be posed standing beside the tank, giving orders, or inspecting the battlefield.

Material & Customization

Cast in high-quality resin, the figure ensures crisp, durable detail with minimal cleanup. Modelers can easily adapt his pose or modify uniform insignia to depict another officer if desired. Optional headgear options and natural folds in the sculpt allow realistic painting effects like dusting, weathering, and fabric texturing for the most immersive finish.
